| Aug 7, 2020 at 13:39 | comment | added | Countach | Thanks for your feedback. For clarification, the "Official Web App" is a public website that can be used by anyone, however it is hosted on our network and communicates to our secure backend due to us needing to make requests other 3rd-party hosted web apps cannot do. The official website, using the private API will have some similar functionality to the public API, so there is an issue of some code duplication there. Do you have a suggestion for dealing with that? Appreciate the feedback. | |

If it is being used from an insecure network then even though this is your "secured" api, it is still part and parcel of your "public" api regardless of whether it part of your "published" api. That aside, are there any shared functionality/service guarantees between the "official" and "public" apis? If there are then the sacrifice of this design is duplication, for independence of control. Otherwise the design itself is feasible, and tenable. | |
